Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead
by Steve PerryOn a treacherous odyssey to find a fabled black pearl, Indy and his cohort, Mac McHale, must cross the Island of the Dead, where the legend of the "zombi" looms large, and where spiders, snakes, and booby traps will prove the least of Indy's challenges.
Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants
by Rob MacgregorIndiana Jones has landed his first teaching post, in the archaeology department at London University. His brightest--and prettiest--student is a twenty-year-old Scottish girl, Deirdre Campbell, who claims she's uncovered a golden scroll, proof of the true existence of Merlin, sorcerer of myth and legend. Indy's intrigued by the thesis ... and by Deirdre. So, too, is member of Parliament Adrian Powell. He's seeking to resurrect the ancient order of the Druids, whose secrets of power could pave his way to world conquest. But first he needs the scroll ... and he's willing to kill to get it. Where there's magic, mystery, and murder, Indy goes to the head of the class. Dropping his books and picking up his bullwhip, he joins Deirdre on an action-packed chase across Britain, from the peril-filled caves of Scotland to the savage dance of the giants at Stonehenge--where Merlin's secret will finally be revealed. But not before Indy gets a lesson in love from Deirdre ... and a lesson in hate from a maniac who means to rule the world.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
by James RollinsHe's back. Everyone's favorite globe-trotting, treasure-hunting, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again-hurtling head first into high adventure and relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to get him out of deep trouble. But the man in the jaunty brown fedora and battered leather jacket is no ordinary digger in the dirt. From the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant to the legendary Holy Grail, he's salvaged the world's most amazing artifacts, while beating the baddest villains and defying the most breathtaking odds. Now it's 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who's as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious-and powerful-than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension. Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he's tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat. Fate, however, has other plans. Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague's kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy's back in the game-playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.
Indiana Jones and the Peril At Delphi (Indiana Jones No. #1)
by Rob MacgregorINTO THE ABYSS OF THE SERPENT For sixteen centuries the Order of Pythia has awaited the reappearance of the ancient oracle of sacred knowledge at Delphi. An earthquake, rending the earth beneath the ruins, has now heralded her return. Dorian Belecamus, a beautiful and bewitching archaeology professor, sees an opportunity to do more than dig into the past: this is her chance to seize control of her country's future-by becoming the Oracle of Delphi! And she's found just the man to help her consummate her scheme. He's brash, he's reckless, and he's fallen under her spell. His name: Indiana Jones. Their adventure spans the globe from Chicago to Paris to Greece, where, bullwhip in hand, Indy descends into the bottomless pit of the serpent god and finds a sacred stone that holds the key to the oracle's prophecies. But Dorian has designed an even more sinister fate for young Indy: she means to make him her lover, her priest, and her pawn in a plot to kill the king. Will Indy find the source of Pythia's powers, or will he find himself sacrificed at Dorian's altar, a victim of her deadly ambition and desire?

El índice del miedo
by Robert HarrisUn potente thriller ambientado en el encarnizado mundo de las altas finanzas donde un algoritmo es lo que decide qué acciones suben y cuáles bajan. Su nombre es desconocido para el gran público, pero en los reducidos círculos de los súper ricos el Dr. Alex Hoffmann es una leyenda. El científico que ha creado un software revolucionario que permite predecir, con una precisión asombrosa, los movimientos de los mercados financieros... y ganar billones con ello. Hasta que llegan las veinticuatro horas que cambian su mundo y el nuestro. Para siempre. Audaz. Sorprendente. Reveladora. La última novela de Robert Harris (Patria, Enigma, Pompeya, El poder en la sombra) rehúye todo encasillamiento -thriller financiero, de especulación científica, de denuncia- para sumergirnos en una historia tan fascinante como real. Escalofriantemente real. Reseñas:«En esta novela se describe perfectamente el mundo de las finanzas. Y el de los súper ricos. Pero además vale la pena leerla porque muchas de las cosas que está haciendo el programa artificial que ha imaginado Robert Harris, son hoy una realidad.»The New York Times «El índice del miedo muestra la absoluta falta de moralidad de aquellos que manipulan los mercados.»Evening Standard «Es casi imposible que esta novela pudiera resultar más actual.»The Times «La trama nos trae a la memoria a Michael Crichton e Ian Fleming, a Stanley Kubrick y Alfred Hitchcock, pero aquí de lo que se habla es real. Muchos de los lectores del Financial Times disfrutarán con El índice del miedo, pero sospecho que se estremecerán al reconocer tantas cosas.»Financial Times «El índice del miedo es un thriller, entretenimiento y del bueno, pero además, como guía a lo que es el mundo de los fondos de inversión, resulta sorprendentemente claro e instructivo.»The Economist

by Roxy SinclaireLuke In Irlanda ero un mercenario o un terrorista, in base a come la si vedeva. Mi ero lasciato tutto alle spalle, ma le mie uniche capacità erano quelle apprese dal lato sbagliato della legge. A Greco piaceva questo di me.

Non sarei sopravvissuta se mia madre non si fosse nascosta. Ha messo me davanti a tutto ed è morta partorendomi perché sapeva che Greco l'avrebbe uccisa se fosse andata in ospedale. Da quando l'ho scoperto, sapevo che avrei vendicato la sua morte. Mi sono allenata per anni per essere a questo livello. Greco ha il meglio per la sua protezione. Avevo solo bisogno del momento giusto per fargliela pagare. Ma poi ho incontrato Luke. Un uomo dai segreti profondi e logoranti quanto il mio. Il destino è una stronza capricciosa.
